‘Cocaine babe’ tells court she smuggled drugs for ‘likes and attention’ on Instagram

A Canadian woman who recently pleaded guilty to smuggling cocaine aboard a glamorous ‘round-the-world cruise admitted in court on Wednesday that she was partly doing it for Instagram likes.
During her sentencing hearing in Sydney, Melina Roberge, 24, informed the court that she accepted the gig as a glamorous “cover” for the drug-smuggling operation after a man she described as “my sugar daddy” offered her money, trips and gifts, News.com.au reports.
In addition to the ritzy perks of the job, the court also heard that Roberge enjoyed "tak[ing] photos of myself in exotic locations for 'likes' and attention," according to the Associated Press.
quote:
Roberge and her cruise companion Isabelle Lagacé — whom the Australian and British media dubbed “the cocaine babes” due to their penchant for posting bikini photos along the voyage — were arrested in Aug. 2016 following a 51-day Princess cruise from the U.K. to Sydney aboard the Sea Princess. Another passenger, Andre Tamine, 63, was also arrested in connection with the incident.
quote:
Officials discovered 77 pounds of cocaine in Roberge and Lagacé’s shared cabin,
quote:
Roberge further told the court that she and Lagace, whom News.com.au identified as a 29-year-old former Canadian porn star, were recruited by the unidentified “sugar daddy” to serve as foils for the operation. The two had also worked as escorts for the “sugar daddy” in Morocco prior to taking the gig on the cruise, according to the site.
quote:
Lagacé was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty in Nov. 2017.
At her sentencing, she claimed she participated in the operation as a means of paying back a $20,000 debt she owed. Roberge and Tamine pleaded guilty to similar charges this past February.
Roberge’s sentence will be revealed at a later date.

What will happen to instawhores when they get old?
Posted on 3/22/18 at 9:30 am to WPBTiger
Somehow I think they started off the voyage with far more than 77lbs of coke.

I thought cocaine only came in kilos?

It's all fun and games until the international drug smuggling ring you were working for gets upset about lost product and the likelihood that you snitched and then you wind up being cut into pieces in the middle of a town square in the developing world.

Damn 7.5 years? People complain about the USA drug time but that seems a lot for someone that was clearly just a shite middle man.
Bet they are out in 2-3 years but I don't really know the Aussie laws.

Such a lying whore. Good riddance.
You dumb count, if you weren't making upwards of 500k- 1M, for 200 pounds of coke, then you are dumber than you look.
You worked as a prostitute yet still.owed over 20k?

77 lbs is about 35 kilos. You can get life for that in Fed Court and the minimum sentence would be 10 years.
